HONOR is presenting its products at the MWC exhibition in Barcelona, with the main news being the expansion of its activity beyond the mobile devices market. Alongside expected announcements of smartphones and computers, the company is unveiling for the first time a humanoid robot (human-like) of its own development, a step that signals its intentions in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence.
The new robot, for which full technical details have not yet been published apart from initial visual materials, represents an engineering challenge significantly different from familiar large language models (LLMs). While software models rely on collecting data from the web, developing a humanoid robot requires a complex integration between advanced hardware and real-time processing capabilities. The move follows the “Alpha Plan” presented by the company last year, which emphasizes the development of systems that combine the work of humans and machines.
In the mobile devices segment, the main device on display is the foldable Magic V6. According to company data, the device offers the largest battery capacity currently available in the foldables category. In addition, the “Robot Phone” is being showcased, alongside a range of computing devices including the MagicPad4 tablet and the MagicBook Pro 14 laptop. The new computers and tablets feature an ultra-slim chassis and are based on built-in AI capabilities for task management.
The launches this year in Barcelona are intended to illustrate Honor’s transition from a company focused solely on end devices to a company developing a broad technological ecosystem. According to the company’s statement, the integration between flagship devices and innovation in the field of robotics is part of the strategy to advance a technological vision that combines the machine and the human user.
